It is an exciting new style of event for hosts Petroleum & Co, a production company that works alongside specialist car dealers and private clients to showcase sensational classic and collectable motorcars by way of creative emotive and engaging cinematography.

The company's recent short films, created for events including the Classic Car Show as well as private collectors and sellers, include a showcase of an exceptional quality 1959 Aston Martin DBR4 Grand Prix car, in which the team's attempt to put together a photoshoot for the car is crashed by a caretaker, who absconds with the Aston Martin for a spin around a nearby track.
